#1. Hope is true: WWE grooming Aleister Black to be a potential Drew McIntyre opponent?

Aleister Black turned heel for the first time in over four years since he made his NXT debut. His dark character would typically be presented as a heel, but he thrived as a babyface - particularly in NXT.

Tom Colohue discussed this on Dropkick DiSKussions and said that WWE intends to build a top-level heel for Drew McIntyre and other babyfaces:
It opens up a lot of options. Firstly yes, Kevin Owens, but it also opens up options such as Apollo Crews, and the major one for me is that we can potentially get Drew McIntyre and Aleister Black down the road. I think that they needed that top-level heel, particularly with Seth Rollins so tied up with so many different storylines, and Bobby Lashley having already had his moment. I think Aleister Black could really go across the levels, could really be elevated here, and I think a lot of people would be really happy to lay down for Aleister Black now that he has had a subtle reinvention as it were.
This would be a great idea on WWE's part and perhaps the route for Aleister Black to reach the main event level that many fans feel he's been destined for. He could have an enjoyable run and his character is one that can thrive as a babyface, heel, or even as a "tweener".
